Serious Effects of a Strike.

CLEVELAND, o., March 12.-The strike Of
the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio
switchmen was emphasized yesterday by
sixty road brakemen who joined therein.
This takes in only the Mahoning division OF
the line. One hundred and FIVE railroad
men are now out, but the stoppage of traffic
has caused a coal famine, and many mills
and factories along the route have been
closed in consequence Fully 4,0o0 men are
thus thrown out of employment by the ac-
tion of los No damage to property has yet
been done and the idle men are orderly and
not disposed TO do any thing rash. The
strike was caused by reduction. from
three to two brakemen on switching trains

THE rat threatens to be as destruc-
tive in the Neilgherries in India as the
rabbit is in Australia. The fields of
the ryots are honeycombed by them.
On estates hundreds of tea trees have
been uprooted and bushels of coffee
may be gathered that has been picked
by them. Growers of potatoes and
vegetables have had their crops de-
stroyed and residents and visitors have
experienced what pest they have be-
come in the houses. 1t is suggested
that the breeding of such birds as the
eagle, the hawk and the owl. which
prey upon rats, should be encouraged.

No steps Taken.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE State De-
partment has taken no steps as yet to car
ry out the provisions of the Retaliation act.
There are, it is stated, many matters of
more immediate importance claiming the
attention of the department. AS soon as
the matter can be taken up. plan of action
will be adopted, based upon strict inter-
probation of the act. The department Off
cials say that there will be no hesitation on
the part of the Administration in carrying
out the purposes of Congress IN passing the
act. The system of retaliation will not be
designed to provoke a quarrel between
Canada and the United States, but will be
stringent enough to remind the Canadian
authorities that this Nation returns unfair
ness in kind and if the acknowledged
rights of American fishermen are denied
them, those of Canada will meet with like
treatment at the hands of our officials

AN inventor proposes to arrange a
rubber stamp in the nest of every hen,
with a movable date. An electric disc
is arranged, So that when the hen has
laid an egg her foot touches it, and the
stamp turns over on the ink pad and
then revolves, stamping the date on
the egg. On each evening the date of
the stamp is altered for the next day,
and there can be no cheating. The
dates tell their own story.

Smith and the Editor.

Upon n certain Occasion. rs the Ed
itor of the Wcekley Jabwock sat in his
Sanctum, young man by the name of
John Smith Rushed up Stairs and De-
manded that his Honor be cleared of a
Vivid Stain. The JaDwock had an
nounced that some one by the Name Of
John Smith had been sent up for
Thirty Days. This John Smith wanted
it known that he wasn't the John
Smith. or he would bring a Great, Big,
Overgrown Libel Suit.
"Certainly-with Pleasure" Replied
the Editor of the Jabwock. And he
wrote that the John Smith, of Pumpkin
Pic avenue, was not the John Smith
who Pounded his Aged Mother; nor tho
Smith who stole a Harness; nor the
Smith arrested for Bigamy; nor the
Smith who had Prize Fight; nor the
Smith who Set the Saw Mil on Fire.
In fact, he cleared him of all the
Crimes and Offcnses on the Calender,
and the result was that tn Stopped
his Paper, Withdrew his Advertising.
Ambushed and Licked the Editor, and
was the means of Bankrupting the
Paper.

Order Yolr Tea in this Way.

Tea, taken hot, is certainly more
wholesome than iced tea. This is well
shown by the enormous population of
China, which could never have in
creased to IFS present numbers il cpl
denies had ravaged that empire us they
have those of the West. In spite of
overcoming to a degree elsewhere
unknown, and indescribably filthy sur
round.ngs, the Chinese have remained
healthy. The only sanitary rcdeeming
feature of their lives is the almost uni
versal use of tea as beverage. That
is to say, of water that has been boiled.
This lesson in practical san tation is of
more value than anything brought
forth by our numerous. boards of
health, national, state or municipal. In
the presence of an epidemc of cholera,
typhoid fever or dysintery, the wisest
precaution to take against infection
would be to boil all flukls used for
drinking purposes. ST. Louis Glohe.

green and left to dry day In the
swath before being bound. This was
better for the straw than the present
practice OF leaving oats until dead ripe
and then binding at once. In thresh.
ing oats by hand much more use was
formerly made of the straw than now.
Cattle and horses would eat q little
bright straw daily and possibly find q
little grain in 1t. In this imperfect
hand threshing only plump heavy grain
was got out. That lighter and chalfy
was left in the straw. Some farmers
attribute the deterioration of oats to
the thorough threshing they receive.
1t breaks some of the large plump
grains and leaves the lighter berries to
be used as seed. 1t is perhaps worth
trying to hand thresh enough oats for
seed in the old way.-American Cult

Common.sense in a Nutshell. Don't
Drug.

The nervous system is the seat Of animal
life, and its Office Is to furnish intelligence,
sensation, and govern the functions of the
body. If the person Is born with natural In
ability of the nerves, all the medicine In exis-
tence cannot make them a constitution, or
furnish health. II by mental and physical
overwork, or dissipation, the healthy nervous
system Is weakened, we are sick because they
are unable to keep the functions going. In
such case, how much do you gain by forcing
function with an irritating drug? The re-
action leaves Its nerves weaker than before.
This accounts for the thousands of nervous
women in existence. The Moxie Nerve Food
has proved 100000 times that II can restore
such cases without harm.
